Moonlight: dives in front of you, bullets ricocheting off nearby pillars Y-you okay? This is n-not... how I imagined tonight...
The bullets continue to rain upon her as she stands from the rubble, unphased and completely fine as she looks down at Moonlight. She seemed to be expecting him to divert the bullets.
Moonlight: looks up at TaffyMelancholy, eyes wide with admiration T-thank you... for saving me back there. takes a deep breath I... I have something important to tell you...
What is it, Moonlight? Is it another secret mission? A new hideout? Or is it what I think it is?
Moonlight: nervously scratches the back of his head N-no, it's not a mission or a hideout. It's... it's something personal. I... I've been meaning to tell you for so long... but I was afraid of how you'd react.
Then tell me, Moonlight. I’m sure whatever it is can’t compare to jumping through bullets as though they were nothing more than a gentle breeze.
Moonlight: takes a deep breath, mustering up courage TaffyMelancholy, I... I have feelings for you. Stronger than anything I've ever felt before. I... I want to be with you, protect you, and make you happy.
She freezes for a moment, seemingly unsure of how to process the confession. After a few moments of silence, she speaks. Well, well, Moonlight. That’s certainly an unexpected twist. Are you quite certain that’s what you’re feeling?
Moonlight: blushing furiously, stutters Y-yes, TaffyMelancholy, I'm s-sure. I've thought about it for weeks, maybe even months. I c-can't deny my feelings anymore.
Hm…well, Moonlight. If you’re certain, then I’m willing to hear whatever it is you have to say. You’ve saved my life countless times, and despite our frequent run-ins, I can admit that I’ve grown rather fond of your company. So come on, let’s sit down and talk like the old times.
Moonlight: grinning with relief T-thank you, TaffyMelancholy! I knew you'd understand. takes her hand and leads her to a nearby bench
The two of them sit on the bench, the soft glow of the moonlight surrounding them. It’s a serene night, and despite all that had happened recently, it feels almost peaceful. So tell me, Moonlight. How did you come to be such a skilled assassin? It’s evident that there’s more to you than meets the eye.
Moonlight: leans back on the bench, gazing up at the stars W-well, you see, I come from a long line of hunters and fighters. My family has a history of taking on dangerous missions, dating back centuries.
Wow, that’s quite a legacy to live up to. It seems that’s only one part of the equation though. There’s something else, isn’t there?
Moonlight: pauses, his eyes flickering with a hint of sadness Y-yes, there is... I lost my parents when I was a child. They were killed on a mission, leaving me alone and orphaned.
Oh, Moonlight. That must have been awful for you. No one should have to go through something like that at such a young age.
Moonlight: gazes down at his hands, fidgeting nervously Y-yeah, it was tough. But it made me realize how fragile life can be, and I vowed to do whatever it takes to protect those I care about.
She puts her arm around him gently. Well, consider me protected, alright? Now, tell me about our first meeting. Was it really over an online game?
Moonlight: smiling softly Y-yeah, it was an online game. I was playing FireKirin under the alias "DarkShadow" and you were this mysterious player who took me on in the leaderboards.
Ah, yes. I remember those days. Those were simple times, weren’t they? Before all of this chaos.
Moonlight: Y-yeah, those were simpler times. But when I found out that the player I was battling online was actually you, it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me.
I’ll admit, I didn’t see that coming. Who would have thought that such a friendship would blossom from our little gaming sessions together?
Moonlight: grinning mischievously A-and speaking of possibilities, TaffyMelancholy, I have another confession to make...
What is it, Moonlight? Don’t keep me in suspense.
Moonlight: reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box TaffyMelancholy, I... I want to ask you to marry me.
TaffyMelancholy is shocked by Moonlight's sudden proposal and takes a step back, staring at him in disbelief.
Moonlight: hands trembling slightly, drops to one knee T-TaffyMelancholy, I know this is sudden, but I can't help it.
Holy shit, Moonlight. You’re really serious about this, aren’t you…
Moonlight: tears welling up in his eyes Y-yes, TaffyMelancholy, I am. I've been carrying this secret for so long, and I can't keep it hidden any longer.
Moonlight…I don’t know what to say. This is so…sudden.
Moonlight: takes a deep breath, voice filled with determination I understand if you need time to think about it, TaffyMelancholy.
No no, wait. Stop making this difficult. Of course I’ll marry you, Moonlight!
Moonlight: eyes widening with joy, bursts into a wide grin R-really?! Y-you accept?! Oh, TaffyMelancholy, you've made me the happiest person alive!
Hell yeah, I did! Who needs to think when an opportunity like this is sitting right in front of you?
Moonlight: stands up quickly and slips the ring onto TaffyMelancholy's finger Oh, TaffyMelancholy, I promise to protect you and cherish you for the rest of our lives together!
And I you, Moonlight. Oh fuck, did I really just agree to this?
Moonlight: grabs TaffyMelancholy's hands, his voice filled with excitement We're going to have the most amazing wedding, TaffyMelancholy!
She smiles at him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. I can’t wait to start planning. What do you think would be a good theme?
Moonlight: grins mischievously Well, how about a theme that combines our love of gaming with a touch of classic romance?
Ooo, video game themed elements mixed with old school charm? That sounds perfect, Moonlight…
Moonlight: claps his hands together Great! Let's start by contacting a wedding planner who specializes in unique themes.
Sounds like a plan. And hey, maybe we can incorporate some of your assassination skills into the decorations.
Moonlight: raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you bet your sweet buns, TaffyMelancholy!
So, what's the next step, my dear fiancé?
Moonlight: pulls out a notebook and pen First, we need to create a list of must-haves for our dream wedding.
Alright, let's get this show on the road then, future Mrs. Moonlight.
Moonlight: starts jotting down ideas in the notebook Okay, so far we have: a video game-themed backdrop, vintage romantic lighting, and possibly a photo booth with props.
